Gamon is for a rogue pickpocket quest, but he's also the lovable punching doll for the entire horde. He spawns in the orgrimmar inn every 5 minutes or so.

Personally I think i've killed him a few hundred times, and my main isn't even horde.

It's also fun to see how far you can get him to follow you.

Comment by mattous

For a funny article entitled "Gamon's grand day out" where a level 60 warlock kites gamon all the way to Silithus taking 1 hour 30 minutes and leaving him with nothing but a 1.76g repair bill. Check out the link below which contains lots of screenshots.

edit by mattous: Oops! See the link in CowHammers post below for a link to some screenies on imageshack of someone else doing some gamon kiting!

Comment by Sanwyn

yeah so i pickpocketed him with my rogue and i didnt get the key, i have the quest.... hm?

Comment by Ablakane

I must try that! "How long can Gamon survive in XR?"

Comment by Lauralyn

That was a lovely little screenie show! I lol'd the whole time! TYVM for posting that link Mattous and whoever took Gamon out, thats was great!!

Comment by chillyman

Yesterday I got bored and managed to drag Gamon away for a moment, used an earthbind totem to tick him off a couple of times and after a while he wouldn't stop hitting me... So I lured him up to a tower and watched how long it would last. Killed me about an hour later or so.. Turns out he managed to get even after all =)

Comment by CowHammer

There's a full story of someone kiting him to Silithus (from my own server, no less!). Funny stuff.

Comment by cyanmanson

This poor guy here.. Everyone kills him :(

Comment by Dennydust

If you see gamon alive, your lucky. and you better kill him before someone else does.

Comment by Kyokinn

i wouldnt say so, cause everytime i log off in the inn, hes sitting there, and me always killing him ^-^ fun stuff, on private server hes a good money maker, but now i play on tichondrious hes no use to me, so i just kill him for the hell of it

Comment by Flintloch

This quest was dubbed crappiest ever as the folks that hearth into the inn target and own him as a matter of reflex. Had to camp him for 3 spawns before he was alive long enough to pickpocket.

Comment by escapingeternity

Comment by Slowbro

Could his back being shown and his name being gamon be a reference to the game Backgammon?

Comment by lithera

Check if your sober ...hic!

Comment by Kataya

I've literally sat here waiting for 30 mins waiting for a chance to pickpocket him but as soon as I'm about to some freaking idiot comes running in out of nowhere and one shots him.

Comment by Asketh

Aaah, Gamon. He has a crappy life. =P

I like Mind Controlling him, then oen shotting him so I can cannibalize him XD.

Comment by spiros83

I think that Gamon is probably a gnome spy in a tauren costume, gathering information for the upcoming gnome infestation in Orgrimmar...

Comment by adashiel

For the record, the name of the pickpocketing quest was The Shattered Hand. It was removed in Cataclysm.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##Updated for Cataclysm.

Comment by unnes

I was somehow able to solo Gamon as a level 70 MM hunter. He killed my pet but I was able to wing clip and kite him for a few seconds to down him before he killed me. A 70 BM hunter might be able to take Gamon down alone, same with maybe a demon lock, but I wouldn't want to solo him without a pet class.

Grab a friend from the bank or AH to help you, Gamon hits like a truck.

Comment by moonasha

One of these days someone is going to hit Gamon and he's going to go completely insane. He'll hit the barkeep for 70k damage, bite the inkeepers head off and then wipe his arse with the nearby afk level 30.

Roaring, he'll smash his way through the wall (kool-aid man style) then take out the Auction House.

Comment by Kalaboo

Friend of mine never touched Gamon, thinking that whoever never kills Gamon will someday receive a reward by Blizzard.

ftw

Comment by emero510

I'm in a bank alt guild called <we have gamon on farm>.

Rules are simple, be lvl 1, wear a tux and put out mad 2-3+ dps.

Our big raid is, you guessed it, taking over the inn and killing gamon several times in a row. Best part is, we don't get any xp from him.

when I'm on other toons, I can't resist much either. Best thing I do is on my warlock, curse of weakness and chain fear. He'll follow you all over then. 'till some jerk hits him.

Comment by nicopico

Very entertaining to kill while lowbies are waiting for repop. Greifers FTW!

Comment by VBub

I remember reading about someone Kiteing to gamon the AQ gong before and deicded to record my own attempt at it.

Comment by Fathios

Comment by Dhazy

In WotLK when you visit Orgrimmar for the first time as a Death Knight, all the guards are rude to you. Gamon, upon spawning, will yell something like "SCOURGE! Gamon will protect you!" when a new Death Knight is in the area and at that point someone usually kills him.

Comment by Holyhackjack

I'm a big griefer on Firetree, Whether it be down in BEM trailing flak cannons on to people. To Misdirecting Van onto rogues in stealth in AV. But here is my Gamon trick.

You have to be a Hunter to make this work

First find a lvl 1 bank running back and forth from the ah, Invite them and say something like " Help me ghetto hearth". Once they accept your invite Misdirect Gamon onto them with a Concussion Shot and hit Esc. Gammon will chase them down and 2 shot them.

Love <3-HHJ-

p.s. Next time your about to log join an AV cap Snowfall and log out. People go crazy.

Comment by Returner99

With the help of a druid friend of mine(who kept Faerie Fire up, I just sheeped when he got oom) we managed to kite him all the way to the Black Morass in the Caverns of Time

Comment by blabla

Comment by Spicebringer

Or he must be extremely tired from all the ghostrunning...This explains why he's kneeling XD

Comment by Spicebringer

I managed to kite him to the barrens bridge on my shaman. The hunter who helped me clear the way so i wouldnt get interupted accidental killed Gamon with multishot ;( This earned my 10g though ;P

Comment by di11ihd

I'm not sure if it's entirely new, but today I MC'ed him and found he had an ability called "Pride Breaker". It punts friendly players 5 yards and also dismounts them. Fun little bit, in case anyone wants to try it.

Comment by Tools

Its strange no one has yet mentioned it but Gamon is a card in the WoW TCG, he has one life, can be attacked by anyone and his flavor is " Not again " :-)

Trying to post a screenie

Comment by JackMynock

I just encountered him for the first time in 54 lvls. I ran into the inn to trick or treat, but misclicked and killed him by mistake. Trick, indeed, when my hunter pulled out his bow and took a shot, it scared me half to death.

Comment by nicopico

Gamon will be the only one to survive the Undead Plague. Once he respawns, he'll pull out a torch and his Arcanite Reaper, decapitate the innkeeper, and barrel through the wall, crushing the AFKers. Gamon will then run into the auction house, get past the invisible wall, cleave the Auctioneers, and pull out the Boomstick, and proceed to 1-shot all of the AH campers. He will cause havoc heading through the Drag, leaving a trail of zombified remains. Once he gets to the Valley of Honor, he will get ontop of the BG building, and smash through the roof, yelling 'ARCANITE REAPER, HOOO!' he will then pull off a Whirlwind, killing all the players and mobs. Gamon will storm out of the front door, and kick the Belf pally off of his warhorse. After he has re-rampaged through the Drag, he will engage High Overlord Saurfang in epic combat. Saurfang will try his 1-hit Cleave, but after being stabbed in the back, Gamon's defense rating has become ~ a million. Gamon will wtfpwn Saurfang with Kick (Rank 1) and head towards the Flight Master's tower. on his way up he'll join forces with Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof, and together they will forge their way through the Valley of Spirits. After a long journey to the Barrens, they will reach the Crossroads. Upon reaching the summit of the guard tower, a zombified Mankrik will take them by suprise, biting off Blackhoof's head. "OMFGWTFBBQ!" Gamon will shout in rage, impaling Mankrik through the head. After an epic fight with the residents of the Crossroads, Gamon will go west, towards some unknown salvation. His journey will not be an easy one, for he will have to fight off savage Centaur zombies. By the time he reaches his goal, he will be bleeding from multiple wounds. Gamon will stand still for a moment, in awe of what he has found. 'My quest... is... complete." he will whisper with a smile. Then he will collapse next to Mankrik's wife.

Comment by Ametrine

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Comment by Tacos

I found out that you can easily kite him with the new shaman spell wind shock. the only hard part is keeping other players from killing him.

Comment by Lordsoze44

He got some funny dialog on :Warchief's Blessing: quest that deathknight show up at Orgrimmar at first time.

Comment by Nappa

As a priest, mind controlling him and going around kicking people can make for quick entertainment.

Comment by innovacious

Wow, i was just sitting in org and all of a sudden i see

Gamon yells: SCOURGE! Stand back! Gamon will save us all!

He yells that twice so i run over to find him dead with 2 death knights standing by his body! Both of them still had the quest to talk to thrall and become a full member of the horde active.

EDIT: just saw it happen again, he actually runs out and chases the death knights!

Comment by Sunsharior

Gamon will try to attack you when you are on your way to meet Thrall for the first time as a Death Knight.

He yell something along those line : "Gamon will protect you from the scourge!"

Does anyone know if they fixed him being friendly to alliance? I havent went to org since 2.4 but he was friendly to my night elf. I went on a solo raid to him just to find I couldn't attack him =(

Comment by thetwink13

one day, gamon will be killed, and respawn angrily. he will then corpse drag himself to the bank, and walk out again. some little lvl 15 will come to kill him, and he will go berserk, spin round, and after the spin, he will be wearing full battlegear of might and an arcanite reaver. he will have also turned lvl 83 (elite) and become the new overlord saurfang. then he will go to northrend, kill the lich king and arthas, go to outland and kill illidan, magtheridon and kaelthalos. he will come back, then raid stormwind, and make the gnomes extinct. he will then go into the bg's and make the twinks extinct. soon, WoW will be a better place for everyone.

Comment by TweFoju

ive killed Gamon like countless time ( maybe 200ish, idk ), but this is the 1st time it dropped for me, lol

Comment by Ridley

Gamon's "pride breaker" ability is very useful for dealing with those annoying players who cover the mailbox with their mammoth mounts.

Comment by Vethek

Today I wanted to Mind Control Gamon again with my Gnomish Mind Control Cap to kick people off their mounts, but it failed and just like in PvP he got control of me. When a friend of me engaged Gamon with taunt, he used my abilities (including icy touch & horn of the winter as buff, I am a DK) against my friend.

Gamon's attack was parried by Vethek.Vethek is afflicted by Gamon's Gnomish Mind Control Cap.

I wonder what will happen if a low level attacks him right after an Engineer's MC gets countered.

Comment by Sekki

If you can manage to kite Gamon up to the flight master without someone killing him you can have hours of fun kicking people off the flight tower.

Comment by anonymousSnowman

Soloed as a level 9 warrior. The trick is to open with charge and keep rend on him. I had to hamstring him and bandage once but other than that easy as pie.

Comment by dunnolol

my friend mind controlled him all the way to borean tundra kicked saurfang then he turned round and cleaved him hard ouch

Comment by Spctro

Tribute to Gannon from Legend of Zelda? I only figured that out today when i started playing it again while i was trying to clean some very old stuff from my basement :D

Comment by Bexer

As in relation to Kenny in south park...

OH NOO, SOMEBODY KILLED GAMON!

Poor souls... :'(

Comment by czaki222

In Polish, Gamon, or more precisely - gamoń - means nincompoop, a foolish person.That somehow corresponds to him being the savior of Orgrimmar now in WotLK.

Comment by cdstephens

Personally I found fighting him almost as hard as fighting the infamous gnoll named hogger.

Comment by decayedbrain

Oh my god, they should totally implement that.

Comment by Griezz

I've got one... since Gamon is kitable, can he be kited onto one of the zeps and led to Northrend?

Comment by decayedbrain

I don't know why that's the case, it doesn't make any sense ;[

Comment by Myshaman

Gamon is great fun for priests. Especially if you manage to reach AH with him, while mind controlling.He got a VERY fun ability, to kick peoples. If they arent on a vehicle, you kick them off their mount, which I love VERY much :DIf you can get him to the AH, you can kick players away from it, which I find fun too. Who doesnt hate to get interrupted while browsing auction house? ;)

Comment by LordLunatic

For an April Fool's joke it would be great if they make him a raid boss level and turn him hostile

Comment by Akario

I tried pulling him as a 71 Combat Rogue...

Horrible kiting spec...

Comment by Melixia

Wouldn't it be funny to create a 40-man .. Gamon's lairOr even it could be for lvl 7-10 gamon would be a boss with 35k HP ( and 69% dmg reduction ) and he would hit for 100 - 300 like .. Skills-Gamon's fury: throwa boulder to a random enemy dealing 2-4 dmg and giving the debuff ''Humiliation'' reducing stats by 30% for 10 sec. 30 sec CD

At 50%-Unleash frustration: ( frustration stacked alot since wow exists ) increasing size by 0.0001% per stack ( and i think he might become as big as org ) .. last 15 sec .. ( no bonus to stats or anything cuz .. its still gamon so .. size can increase but he still the horde's puching doll. Lasts 1 min ( if he can survive that long )

And at 20% hp remaining

-Gamon's last stand: Giving gamon's no bonus but letting him think that he's stronger than ever.

So .. thats my idea .. well if some have priv server it would be fun to create this for real .. haha ( with cap lvl )

Comment by yorick1997

this guy also got a TCG card :)

Comment by kt0rse

Unfortunately there is no statistic on how many times you have killed Gamon. :(

Comment by Ametrine

My mage is Arcane spec, so I just spammed Slow... no damage, and builds aggro.

Problem is it's really easy to outpace him, outrange his aggro-radius, and have him despawn, doing it that way...

Comment by Xadaver

no longer seems to have the mc ability in 3.1, a sad day for us all

Comment by UtopiaTree

ah crap, why would they take that out? it was NEEDED!

Comment by Irkalla

They better nerf him soon, wiped six times on him now just because tanks can't keep aggro when he enrages.

Comment by Gnoktish

Sadly confirmed for all you preists, Gamon's Pride Breaker ability has been removed due to Everyone's complaints about being dismounted and being booted off places. Gamon is now just gonna be for the rouge quest and killed for fun... My preist is going to be awfully bored now days in org.. and im going to have problems getting my mail.... WHY GAMON WHY MUST YOU BECOME BORING!

Comment by Nikratos

As of patch 3.1, Gamon no longer has the ability Pride Breaker when Mind Controlled.

Comment by bwilds55

Gamon does not like the scourge. Watch out Death Knights, he hits for about 30,000 health(On raid tanks) when you're just coming into Org for the Death Knight quest. He will one shot you. He will force you to corpse run for 15 minutes. Avoid Gamon at all costs until you turn in the quest.

Comment by Deimoz

The kick ability has been removed when you mind control him. Damn.

Comment by Zeghart

He's like The Hero in My Realm.

I saw sometimes a Raid group of lv1 char trying to take him down, yelling "AAAAH, HE'S KILLING ME!"

Dunno Why He don't have a Realm with his Name.

Anyone try buffing him with level 80 buffs or can you not target him with buffs? I can just imagine an uber buffed Gamon...

I tried soloing him with my Lv 80 Warrior, it didn't go too well.. He must've been buffed because he now hits like a freight train.

He must've learned a few lessons from Saurfang.

Comment by Majikthise

Our Two-Handed Totems trainer has been on vacation in Orgrimmar for ... has it been that long? Five years? Surely I must be getting senile. It cannot be that long.

Regardless, yes. The ability to use weapons such as mine comes only with proper training, not any innate ability. You must exercise patience and wait for our trainer to return. If you do see him in Orgrimmar, though, do let him know that we're looking for him. His name is Gamon.

Comment by Greybox

As of the 21st of this month, he has technically been "camped" for 5 years straight now. Poor guy, no wonder he's always kneeling, you'd be exhausted too if you'd been camped that long!

And he still has the energy to occasionally try to stop another noob of a Death Knight from joining the ranks of the Horde.

Bravo Gamon, bravo.

Comment by DDDevilz

I like to pickpocket Gamon.

So when newbie rogues finally see that he's alive. And they manage to get to him before any other player.

...And they are so filled with hope and joy at finally starting their life as a rogue....And then giant red letters slam up into their face, breaking their spirit....'Target Has Already Had Its Pockets Picked'

And that is the exact moment where each and every rogue becomes the jaded, cynical, misanthropic bastard who would sell his mother for half a coin or just for laughs.

We're a brotherhood.

Comment by Galkura

lol just noticed this, but when a DK going to talk to Thrall (right after the DK starting area) walks by Gamon, he gets up and yells:

"SOURGE! Stand back! Gamon will save us all!"

And then he proceeds to attack the DK

They should make it so Gamon targets anyone who as ever killed him and kills them lol (i know that means us all but GAMON NEEDS REVENGE), and i wonder if people start a new dk are gonna have a lvl 85 elite now chasing them lol if so they would wanna run VERY fast.

Yes, payback is a b*tch.

Comment by Maedhrosqr

new Hogger? =))

Comment by Pasanius

While Gamon himself might not hit-like-a-truck currently in 4.0.1, those grunts in Orgrimmar are more than eager to hit for him if you start messing around! So all in all, could it really be that Gamon isn't all that wanted criminal who's just hiding...?

Screen or it never happened? Here's vid about my poor priest who found out MCing Gamon can be bad thing O.o

Comment by TwistedNether

He is no longer our weak and lovable punching bag.He is a level 85 raid boss and is a pain to kill.

Comment by Shageki

He's actually getting killed just as much as ever (At least on my server), plus his respawn time is shorter now.

He's not immune to snaring effects, so barring a random miss or resist, he can be easily kited, and once you get him into the center of Orgrimmar, it's typically only a matter of time before everyone gangs up on him (Though usually not without a couple deaths due to people pulling aggro from the tank that usually shows up).

Comment by ElfenAeria

Gamon killed on Frostmane, extremely healing intense and a true terror for anyone who'd overagro the beefy tanks we had lined up. He sure is packing a punch.

Drops:12 copper (there were 12 of us, we got 1 each.)3x

Had to roll the Linen cloths out individually. Now we have 3 players on Frostmane running around with a piece of his majestic clothing as a trophy displaying great heroism, and mayhaps a bit too much spare time.

Gamon shall have his revenge as a 1 mil healthed level 85 elite. His rage shall be unquenched as lowbies fall at his gaze. Nothing can stand in his way as he trample on the corpses of all those who robbed him of his 13 copper and 2 linen cloth he was going to use to start up a flower business in the drag.

Now that Gamon has to be kited I believe there will be a lot more corpses of dead horde attempting to kill him (Old habits die hard, really hard) and people will now think twice before hitting an instant attack while walking by the inn.

I'm seriously about to write a short story called "Gamon's revenge."

First thing I did after he was buffed was run in and attack him out of habit. I didn't know they had buffed him so needless to say he one shot me. He had the last laugh after all.

Comment by Etamalgren

If you have a spirit -> hit talent and some way to slow Gamon or make yourself faster, it's possible to solo him with little effort.

As a Balance druid with ~1100 spirit, I have about 41% spell hit. The spell hit makes it possible to hit him without fail, thus leading to root -> run away -> cast spell -> repeat til dead. (That, and a bugged 90% mana cost reduction becoming 99%, making moonfire almost free helped)

World first solo of Gamon yielded... 4 copper.

EDIT: This is vastly out of date. Gamon is now immune to all CC and runs at the speed of sound. This went into effect in 4.1 or so.

EDIT 2: This is now completely out of date. Gamon is a friendly NPC in Orgrimmar being arrested by orcs and can't be killed.

Comment by Strein4321

You'd think they would give him a new design, right? lol

Comment by Ghar

It is absolutely easy to kite gamon around as an arcane mage. It's hilarious getting people killed with him. Attack him, kite him around until a melee starts attacking also, iceblock, invis, or mirror images. Gets them every time, and i just laugh and laugh.

It is ridiculously easy to kite gamon around as an arcane mage. It's hilarious getting people killed with him. Attack him, kite him around until a melee starts attacking also, iceblock, invis, or mirror images. Gets them every time, and I just laugh and laugh. I like to call it the Gamon Trap.

Edit: As of today, they gave Gamon the ability to charge. My kiting days are over D:

Comment by Barastus

I probably am repeating someone else, but Gamon appears to be a lower level, the drunker you are. If you are totally smashed, he looks like an 80 Elite.

Comment by gubugu

Now the new hobby of the guys in Orgrimmar is :a tank pick up gamon, bring it out in front of the hall of Garrosh and a lot of people kill it , we do this every hour , but sometimes he wins by activating the TRUCK POWER... poor tank

Comment by kg333

You, sir, are a visionary. Beware ye the wrath of the new Gamon.

Comment by Strein4321

EXACTLY!

Comment by Tolkfan

It seems he now has a charge ability. I found out about it the hard way...

No more kiting :(

Comment by Phyloni

Seems he is "hotfixed" since afternoon(30/11). I used to kite him around the bank/ah/entrance area with slow, hoping someone else was attacking him. Use invisibility -> profit!

He never did the charge ability before, it's not in his abilitieslist on wowhead yet.No more fooling around I guess!

Edit: Hi Tolkfan!

Comment by poalgola

It appears that he have got a new weapon aswell! A shiny new axe

Comment by blokeman

Not only that, he can battle shout too :O

Comment by Ghar

Gamon's alt is Deathwing.

Comment by Edds

he charges and runs alot faster. im guessing 100% mount speed.

Comment by Enthorn

Don't pop your mirror images around Gamon. They will instant attack him and then you will get owned after they all die.

His charge seems to have a cooldown. He charged my mirror images, killed them all, I blinked away and ran but he didn't charge me. Also, he is now immune to polymorph effects.

Comment by Gannon

I started a new game called Get Gamon Out of Orgrimmar. Spent two hours watching people try and solo kite him out of Org into Durotar. Dozens of people died and hundreds of gold in repair bills were racked up.

I offered 50g for anyone that could do it and got a lot of takers cuz most of them didn't know he had a charge now :)

After several deaths I had 2 people that were finally able to get him out and the reward didn't even cover their repairs....but their pride was still intact!

Comment by Duckula

Yeah. I was one of the people who routinely kited the 85 version before his new upgrades. He was laughably easy to kite then. A hunter with talented cheetah could actually outrun him without even snaring him. I could kite him over the ocean, into Ashenvale, and if I had actually tried, I'm pretty sure I could have easily taken him all the way into Silithus (going over water until Tanaris).

Dream on now.

I tried him again after the buffs. I figured, "Yeah, 40 yard range on Concussive, and I'm sure his Charge is shorter range. Let me just deadzone him." I've got 40.3k unbuffed HP, and I'm in full Wrathful. Physical damage reduction is about 43%. I opened with Concussive (or so I thought), and a few seconds later, he charged me for 50k. This wasn't a crushing blow or a critical hit, just a raw swing of 50k on good quality mail. I kite a whole lot, and I don't make stupid mistakes, but I figured maybe I messed something up. I tried a few more times and died a few more times. Here's what I have learned:

1. He cannot be snared. Concussive Shot certainly failed, as did Frost Trap. Yes, I checked the combat log, and it said immune.2. He hits somewhat harder than before. Come Cata, he will easily be 3 to 4-shotting tanks in 85 blues. His charge + first melee swing will deal enough combined damage to instantly kill cloth and leather if they pull aggro.3. You cannot outrun him with Travel Form, Aspect of the Cheetah, or Ghost Wolf, as he is way faster than before. I conducted some basic speed tests. I used talented Aspect of the Cheetah (138% speed), and I opened at maximum range (40 yards). I took the most direct path out of Orgrimmar to try to get to open ground (not significantly different from the path he was following me with). It took him roughly 15 seconds to close to Charge range. I would estimate his ground speed at roughly 150%.4. Your single ray of hope: he can be stunned. Don't get too smart, though. In my tests, even when my pet opened with a stun, he sometimes got in a first (and lethal) swing somehow.

Ladies and gentleman of the Horde, a new chapter has dawned on our history.The hour of the Saurfang is over.The King is Dead, Long Live the King.King Gamon.

Comment by darknesscalls

From the Blizzard hotfixes list:

* Gamon is now immune to all forms of crowd control, uses the abilities Charge and Battle Shout, and wrecks adversaries with his new two-handed axe.

Comment by kabookiejoe

lol, he should yell like bloodlord everytime he kills someone

a nice ding, would suffice

Comment by Slapperfish

As of a new update on November 30th, Gamon now carries a new model (?) 2h axe, has the ability to Charge, and runs as fast as an epic ground mount.

Maybe in a couple of days, he'll outgrow that cloth armor he's wearing and somehow gain full T11 before anyone else in the game.

Comment by Slapperfish

Maybe in the near future, Blizzard will have him outgrow his cloth armor, and give him full T28 before anyone even obtains it just to troll every last player in existence.

(Edited/updated due to current tier numbers)

Comment by Ritterdestod

Gamon got trained by Chuck Norris, nuff said

Comment by Ramona

Anyone tried misdirecting him on a mounted player, and kite like that? :)

Patch 4.0.3a Hotfixes - November 30• Gamon is now immune to all forms of crowd control, uses the abilities Charge and Battle Shout, and wrecks adversaries with his new two-handed axe.

Comment by Jzc136

It appears Blizz has decided that Gamon was still a pushover, therefore they buff him... even more.

Comment by Walther

I love Blizzard's sense of humor. This poor cow has been punished for years. Now it's time for his revenge! Go team Gamon!

Comment by Skyewind415

So when the Alliance try to do a raid to kill Garrosh, now I know who to kite into that little room.

Comment by fran13r

no big update imo, we just kill him :) this poor poor cow will never rest.

Patch 4.0.3a Hotfixes:

Gamon is now immune to all forms of crowd control, uses the abilities Charge and Battle Shout, and wrecks adversaries with his new two-handed axe.

Comment by tmptfate

Lets take a look at Gamon's History shall we:

November 2004 - October 2010

Gamon fucntions as a punching bag and a /lol machine for people who constantly like to kill him. During the Hallow's End holiday, Gamon can never be found alive. Ever. Him hanging out 3 yards from the Inn keeper makes certain that those who "Trick or Treat" make sure he stays dead at every moment.

November 2010 (Patch 4.0.1a)

Gamon is now a lvl 85 Elite. Gamon goess to school, studys hard, and bribes some Kung Fu masters to teach him how to wreck face. Patch 4.0.1a goes live and he is found to be a near unstoppable force of destruction, one that requires a group of players to kill. Thats right, he went from 1 lvl 15 character able to kill him to at least needing 3+ lvl 80's. He hands out glorious death and revenge and 75k to 150k(crit) hits. He builds a house of dead bodies around him. However... he still gets tricked into being kited to his death or to random adventures into the Barrens.

November 30th, 2010 (Patch 4.0.1a - Hotfix)

Gamon wised up a little and received further training from a Kung Fu master and now knows how to deal with pesky kiting people. He now no longer falls prey to crowd control and has turned the tables on his prey with Charge (50k hit) and Battle Shout (he will root your sorry butt). He has also bought a new axe to deal out his revenge, a two-handed force of death (100k hits).

? (Patch ?.?.?)

Tremble with fear, for his revenge and rage know NO bounds. Half a decade of being killed has left him bitter. Fear. Him.He is always watching you...

Gamon hit me for 84553

Comment by Ibitis

GAMON IS SICK OF YOUR ^&*!. He's gearing up, and going after Garrosh. THEN you'll show him some respect.

Comment by Korianteri

Apparently, Gamon has a really big axe now.

Comment by Fireroflmage

In the recent hotfix to 4.0.3a, they gave him a huge axe and a speed boost so that he can kill people faster and keep him from getting kited around Org.

Comment by LtMcBadass

Dragonblight(EU) on patch 4.0.3a release day - 18 corpses within 10ft of Gamon.

Old habits never die, they get stomped into last week by him.

Comment by Varleen

Well, the charge and the 2-handed axe explain his massive power-up; just guess who's Saurfang's number 1 pupil...

Comment by forgottenring

Gotta admit I got roflstomped by Gamon after they gave him a charge. (Which I didn't know at the time.) Blizzard doesn't want anyone to kill Gamon now. I'm just glad he doesn't randomly pick a player standing around and one shot them, because that would be the ultimate flip around from pre-cataclysm. Maybe at 85 people will be able to kill him again, but for now we have to be content that Gamon gets the last laugh for once.

Comment by eli2112

Maybe if people keeps finding ways to beat him blizzard will punish us all by giving him a Cleave.

Comment by Grimgroth

He now seem to reset at ~50%, just regains all his health, making him unkillable.Gamon will live on forever.

Comment by Toroq

Am I imagining things, or is he also moving faster now?And no, I don't mean the charge.

Right now we are chanceless against him, but as far as I'm aware, he's tankable/healable at 85 D:Blizzard should just give him an extremely powerful bladestorm and be done with it. Gamon wins. End of.

Comment by edmeister9000

I always wondered what would happen if a tauren went super saiyan...

His new model should have yellow fur to reflect that...

Comment by kirzan

Gamon has to be a defector in the first content patch! Blizzard, hire Vin Diesel or Brendan Fraser to voice act the hell out of this guy! You get into whatever castle and there he is. Once you enter the room he sees you (sees orcs even if you're alliance cause he's become mad obsessed with the abuse he's taken) and starts slowly talking his way up to pure madness. Then the encounter begins.

P.S.: The actor choice is simply based on depth of voice and overall badassery. You could add Arnie or Stallone in there... but I want to understand what he says, reading is for pussies.

Comment by Shoddythetroll

If Blizzard actually updates his loot table for something... more worthy, then players in Org are gonna be so bored sticking around, they'll form raids to beat Gamon for maybe epics :P

I hope they won't do that though, since we might as well do what we do best to Gamon pre 4.0.3.

Comment by Hoggerz

lol i forgot he was high lvl before he one shotted me (i was playing a low lvl)

Speaking of funny, that 300-orc raid on Gamon was HILARIOUS XD If you haven't already, check the video section for this new elite Gamon :D You shan't be disappointed ^.^

Absurd pain has a new horrifying HORRIFYING name.. Gamon..

He will wreck your face, steal your wife, and even steal your christmas tree!Blizzard says he has eaten LOTS of porridge, but then again why can't you get the recipe for ?

I say that the porridge was made entirely out of steroids. You no longer need to facedesk, because Gamon is there to help you by bashing the desk in YOUR face! 5000% more pain 60000% more gore and guts splashing! Order your beating today, only for 50,000 gold pieces. *smile*

i think i have killed him 20 or so times now, most of the time he just drops a few copper but sometimes he can yield something special, i managed to get some high-ish level mail gloves worth nearly 2 gold on about the third kill, nothing like that since though

Comment by bj91x

Gamon probably caused more Horde players to die in Orgrimmar than Alliance players.

Comment by Drain7

No quest for him nor any drops of value. You don't even get an achievement.

Probably just some joke from Blizzard because he used to be Org's punching bag. People would aggro him, sit in the AH with him beating on them and yell out things like "help help i'm being molested".

The fight is so epicly awesome anyone that looks at it's eyes melt and their faces fall offAfter several minutes during the fight Chuck Norris's computer explodes, not being able to contain so much awesomeness, releasing the it, destroying the Earth.And thats how 2012 starts...and ends.

ive just killed him, its easy all you need is to find a healer and then pull him into AH :P

Comment by Mig64

Maybe Gamon became Varok Saurfang's apprentice and became an Arms Warrior, alongside Garrosh.

Now being serious, it's possible for Horde players kite Gamon from the inn he's located directly to Grommash Hold, this can be a great help during an Alliance invasion, his battle shout affects Garrosh, increasing his (already violent) damage, also, Gamon's Charge ability hits a random player.

With the right tactics, our dear Level 85 Elite Tauren Not-a-Chieftain-but-badass Gamon can truly be a Hero of Orgrimmar! \o/

Comment by Problimatic

I was able to solo it :D. I got it on my first try in ilvl 354 tanking gear. Had to blow all cooldowns though to get him down. Don't be deceived when he doesn't do too much at the beginning. He starts packing a punch. I was unbuffed (Not even food or flask) and it was a fun thing to do in org.

Comment by redzonelol

i think that Cataclysm happened when Chuck Norris started playing WoW, and he purchased Gamon as his alt char.

Watched a DK get one shotted over and over trying to kill Gamon last night. I had just gotten my Obsidian Cleaver on a FL trash run so I was in a good mood, I res'd the guy a couple times then I pulled in a rogue and a hunter from my guild and we took him down.

The rogue and hunter lived through the encounter, I the tank (Prot Pally) did not, Gamon and I died at the same time.

Was awfully fun, the guy hits like a truck, the rogue didn't get touched, used blade flurry alot, pulled about 14k dps during the encounter and the hunter used her monkey from Z-G to blind him with poo and laid into him with Chimera shot.

Comment by Taraezor

Wondering if as at this patch Gamon can be kited onto a Zep. The Zep to Thunderbluff flies all the way so I imagine the only mechanic would be whether Blizz allows him to board the Zep.

Now, if we can kite him to TB, is it possible to get him onto any of the otehr Zeps? I'm thinking epic screen shots here with him in exotic locations.

It follows that if he can be kited onto one of the Zeps which "teleports" then we might be able to get him through the portals into Outlands and so on.

Ah...the recent downvotes. Please note when the post was made. Yes, in patch 5.3 Gamon, bless his soul, has his hands full, being surrounded by those evil Kor'kron dudes. My tip is that sooner rather than later Gamon will be free of this problem again and he will return to being the NPC we all love.... love to beat up on, lol.

Comment by chiqitabanana

For dk tanks there is an easy tact.1) Pop army2) use death strike till u deplete ur runes3) Pop Blood tap and use death strike again4) Pop Empower Rune weapon and deplete death strike runes again5) Just spam death strike and heart strike till he goes down.

U can also pop icebound fortitude so as not to lose ur mastery too fast (so u can stack it up faster- dmg taken<dmg absorbed)

Comment by Lolwhutsteve

Upon attempting to pickpocket him, he promptly smashed my face. DO NOT ATTEMPT. YOUR DEATH WILL RESULT.

Comment by LatroVir

Gamon is still kitable. Thing is, even a tank auto swinging will kill him off before going a significant distance, namely due to Vengeance eventually stacking up.

What you need is a level 1 weapon like this and a macro you can spam with the line: /cancelaura Vengeance

You should probably bring a healer along for this. Despite hitting him for piddly damage, my Paladin safely kept his threat high enough to prevent Gamon from charging (killing) my healer. Took him all the way to Crossroads and then Ratchet before he despawned by the boat to Booty Bay.

Sadly as of 4.3 any tank (maybe not warrior, haven't seen one try) can solo Gamon with no trouble. I saw teh bare duridz with LFR gear solo him and come out with full health.

Comment by pdxryguy

Seems to be a lot of outdated or useless comments in here about this guy.

at 385ilevel, pvp spec, totally just messing around, i soloed Gamon easy @85 druid.took forever as i wasn't specced for dps, and was doing like 10k dps but i only took 288k damage total. which means either recount wasn't tracking my absorbs or he doesn't hit for 150k or whatever like others have said. in fact all i really did was lacerate x3 and pulverize over and over, and used my cooldowns at start.

idk im not trying to brag but this Gamon seemed to have a reputation for ripping through players and now im not so sure.

also, can anyone point out the reason for this guy? I don't see a link to a quest, but it seems odd to have a neutral, nearly 2mil health guy in here without a reason. all i got from him was 13 copper!

Comment by Oberheim

This NPC is by far the best way to farm copper, and linen cloth. I leave one of my 85s by the inn at all times so that I can farm this guy, and in 2 weeks I've accumulated 45 silver already. At this rate it should take me about 150 years to pay for Artisan Riding! I've aslo made another small fortune selling Lesser Healing Potions, and Linen Bandages in the AH!, I highly recommend farming this guy.

I can also confirm that Gamon does drop a Legendary Trinket called "The Illusion of Delusions" which is a vial of water that is said to be from the Well of Eternity that has become petrified since the great sundering. Wearing this trinket allows the bearer to use any of the portals found in Duskwood, Ashenvale, Hinterlands, and Feralas to travel to "The Emerald Dream". While there you can use your trinket to summon the "Dragons of Nightmare" which are epic flying mounts of which you can select only one to accompany you back to Azeroth. This flying mount allows you to fly at 800% speed which is the fastest available in game. You will however need Master Riding Skill to attain said speed.

At 800% flying speed you can actually fly across the great sea to continents faster than the fatigue debuff can kill you. The excessive speed also grant you the ability to travel back in time by 1 hour server time which is very helpful, for example; If you're running in a bad raid group, you can go back in time before you joined the fail group and whisper yourself not to join which saves you the cost of repair after many wipes :). Another benefit of in game time travel is if someone ninjas your gear, you can go back in time kick that player before the roll has initiated.

Upon dismounting, you'll receive a buff called "Pack of Flies" which grants you 10,000% more haste, crit, dodge, intellect, strength, and stamina. which makes you virtually invincible. On this buff, I was able to solo King Varian Wrynn and kill all of the 85's in Stormwind just using AoE spells, then I went back in time about 10 minutes and took out rest of the alliance leaders while all of the 85's were still fighting me in Stormwind.

The one downside to all of this is that you will start losing rep with the keepers of time.

Oh by the way someone said "Gamon will kill lich king and Arthas".OH, REALLY? I THINK HE KILLED BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! (irony 101%)

Comment by zxczxczbfg

Y'know what I'd REALLY love to see? Some idiot kiting him to the steps of Stormwind Keep (Killing all the guards to clear his path and somehow not dying). He would then (hopefully) engage King Varian Wrynn in epic combat. FTW.

Just give him Saurfang's Cleave. Then all will be restored

GAMON SHOULD BE OUR NEW WARCHIEF INSTEAD OF HELLSCREAM!

Comment by King0fKings

When the Org raid to kill garrosh comes out in MoP they should either make Gamon a raid boss or an ally in the raid

Comment by Ballybog

He was a gentle Tauren...A true believer in peace...But when they push him too far....He's ready to make them pay!

See Gamon like you've never seen him before! He's back, and more Elite than ever, in his new explosive movie, "Gamon: Facemelter of Orgrimmar"!

Gamon got a few upgrades in Patch 5.3, as he is now a level 90 Rare Elite with 39 million health. this on the ptr of course.

Comment by WoWnerdzx

in the 5.3 ptr he is surrounded by kor'kron overseers :D

Comment by Matthat15

Gamon gonna rise again mon!

Comment by Sorcelia

Well, we can all relax now, Gamon is being buffed in the next patch, 5.3. I'm glad of this since i'd just re-built the <Gamon Rescue Squad>, atleast now he won't be soloable. He'll become a level 90 rare elite, under custody of the Kor'kron, as he was a "threat to the public"... which is ironic because before he was just a punching bag. Well, let's just hope he drops some interesting loot, more than 50 copper and some linen cloth. Right?

Comment by jd812

Ok ill just post this again, for some reason people love to downvote useful info. Gamon got a few upgrades in Patch 5.3, as he is now a level 90 Rare Elite with 39 million health. this on the ptr of course.

Comment by roadrocker98

Gamon, The unstoppable force of destruction.. As a level 90 Elite Rare with 39 MILLION HP. He will surely be the successor and slayer of Garrosh the tyrant.

Comment by Romire

Gamon sits in Org, waiting paitently for some unlucky bastard to try and attack him

Comment by Darimius

Seems he was caught by Kor'kron Overseers in Patch 5.3.

Comment by Gadrinthehunter

apparantly, he did something...something bad (or good)...now the Kor'kron guards have him surrounded between the valley of strength AH and the in...no one knows as of yet what he did though

Comment by dumbland

As of patch 5.3, Gamon is a Level 90 Elite, engaged in a stand-off with some very cranky Kor'kron.

Gamon for Warchief.

Comment by Yuuzothehuntar

5.3 is now live and it seems that gamon is being concerned by a group of kor'kron overseers... What has the poor drunk tauren done now?

Comment by Moped987

I was told by a friend today to look at him. (release date of 5.3)

my reaction:

HOLY PALADIN! what has he done!

They be hating on him.

Comment by boneshooter

Comment by tnkwon

Gamon is actually the insider within Orgrimmar that is secretly relaying information to the Revolutionaries back in Razor Hill. Hellscream has been onto him and is now cornered, hanging on by a thread.

Wait, he's not? Damn there goes my fanfic.

Comment by greytree

As of patch 5.3, Gamon is no longer attackable. He is now between the inn and the AH, surrounded by several Kor'kron Overseers, who taunt him with phrases like the following:

"Come with us, fool. You don't want this to get bloody.""Where do you think you'll run to? The Kor'kron control this city.""Look at this dishonorable creature. You smell of straw.""You don't want to force the hand of the warchief.""You are asking for an axe in your back. Drop the weapon, now.""I am going to enjoy crushing your spirit."

Comment by Maxisan

WTF? These Kor'kron Guards are messin' with mah Gamon? OUR GAMON! He is everyone's Gamon. He earned Orgrimmar's heart.

Comment by Xiberion

First time in the games history he has been unable to attacked? o.o

Comment by Kasa24

In patch 5.3, when the Kor'kron have taken over Orgrimmar, Gamon is surrounded by five Kor'kron Overseers, weapons drawn. Gamon looks back and forth between them all, ready for combat. Occasionally, one of the Kor'kron will say something to Gamon:

You don't want to force the hand of the warchief.

Where do you think you'll run to? The Kor'kron control this city.

You are asking for an axe in your back. Drop the weapon, now.

Look at this dishonorable creature. You smell of straw.

Come with us, fool. You don't want this to get bloody.

Comment by Zenanji

A group of five Kor'kron Overseers are hassling Gamon in between the inn and AH in the Valley of Strength.

Kor'kron Overseer says: You are asking for an axe in your back. Drop the weapon, now.Kor'kron Overseer says: Come with us, fool. You don't want this to get bloody.Kor'kron Overseer says: I am going to enjoy crushing your spirit.Kor'kron Overseer says: Where do you think you'll run to?

They don't know what they are up against.

Comment by Taraezor

Poor Gamon. He just can't win. Between patches he goes to the gym and each time re-emerges bigger and beefier than ever. And soon enough we all gear up until we are able to bully him into submission.

In Cataclysm, my blood DK would wander into the inn and pick a fight with Gamon, the regular barfly. I'd kite him around a bit then pull him towards the elevator up to the central mesa in Orgrimmar. Gamon wouldn't follow so I would rise up and instantly drop threat, leaving Gamon to exact his pitiless revenge on any unsuspecting clothie who thought it would be manly to beat up on him while he was focused on me.

But now in patch 5.3 he is surrounded by Kor'kron agents of Garrosh, demanding that he drop his weapon and submit. Everybody's favourite punching bag suddenly became our hero.

Rise up Horde and come to Gamon's aid, if only to let him live for another day! ;)

Comment by Rris

Gamon for Warchief!

Comment by Kalgas

Gamon has different horns in the "View in 3D" option, than in-game. Little fun fact! My hypothesis, is that maybe the horns in-game were just so incredibly beastly, wowhead's servers crashed when attempting to upload the 3D program.

Comment by Shadowewolfe

I'm new to the horde so pardon if this is redundant, but what is Gamon's backstory? Why does everyone want/need to kill him?

Comment by MABGamer6407

Looks to be Gamon is up to 90. He is no longer attackable and is apparently gone into a heroic stance like he did in the Death Knight quest. Some Ko'kron Guards are Surrounding him trying to ether capture or settle him. This is some proof that he won't side with the War chief an likely won't become a high commander raid boss in the Up coming raid. Kinda was hoping to have him as a raid boss but if he has a chance to become a Ally then thats at lest something worth while to wait for. I'd side with Gamon any day. I just also want his Axe to become gotten in game...

Comment by firestarcat

as of 5.3 he is now a lvl 90 gold... and garosh is being a *!@# and kicking him out atm . you can see him next to the inn where we was ploting world domnation

Comment by Huntakilla

As of patch 5.3. during the Darkspear Rebellion, Gamon is standing next to the Valley of Strength auction house surrounded by armed Kor'kron Overseers.

The Overseers say things like:

You are asking for an axe in your back. Drop the weapon, now.Come with us, fool. You don't want this to get bloody.Where do you think you'll run to? The Kor'kron control this city.Look at this dishonorable creature. You smell of straw.I am going to enjoy crushing your spirit.You don't want to force the hand of the warchief.

Gamon cannot be attacked and it doesn't seem like the Overseers will either.He has 40 million hp and therefor I can immagine him being very powerful

Comment by Knuckinphutz

A Blizzard rep said that the new Warchief will be someone we may not suspect?... I would serve Warchief Gamon.

Comment by Reignac

In patch 5.4 Gamon has been moved to The Drag. He's kneeling with a good number of Kor'kron aiming guns at him.

Comment by NalzFurry210

Note: In the next patch, he's held up at gun point (:<

Comment by DagothUr

He's just pretending to surrender. All of the guns will fire at once, Gamon will catch the rounds with his bare hands, and send them flying back at the Kor'kron, killing them in the process. He will then recover his axe and proceed to mow down Ogrimmar while walking towards Grommash Hold.

Comment by HyperDemonic

It seems that our friend Gamon will play a role in 5.4's raid. At lest in the Nazgrim encounter, hopefully more.

Comment by Uberpwnage99

He strikes the killing blow on Nazgrim in the Siege of Orgimmar raid in 5.4.

Comment by Knuckinphutz

Gamon, you have finally learned. I am proud to have died at your hands. For the Horde. You have learned much, and learned well. An honorable battle, in the end. I stood by the Warchief because it was my duty, and I am glad it was you who struck me down. May your strength lead the Horde into a new era of prosperity.

Comment by Creditor

does anyone know the set he wears? and if the axe is available in the game?

Comment by Alechs777

It is rumoured he is gonna be the new warchief....Ya killed your proabably future Warchief so many times.

Comment by Duddits

As of 7/17/2013 Gamon appears to be under arrest near the Valley of Strength Auction House in Orgrimmar! What could this mean?

SPOILER ALERT------------- SPOILER ALERT--------- READ NO FURTHER

Apparently Gamon kills Nazgrim in 5.4

From Nazgrim:"Gamon, you have finally learned. I am proud to have died at your hands. For the Horde. You have learned much, and learned well. An honorable battle,﻿ in the end. I stood by the Warchief because it was my duty, and I am glad it was you who struck me down. May your strength lead the Horde into a new era of prosperity."

Could Gamon be the new warchief?Do you feel bad for killing him so many times in the past? HAH!

Comment by Bencraft

As of patch 5.4 "The siege of Orgrimmar".

You will encounter "General Nazgrim".

And Gamon starts by saying this:

Gamon:- I may be bruised and beaten, but the hatred boils inside me. Many times have i fallen to the hands of an orc, and many times have i risen again, but never again! For every orc that struck me, i will cleave a thousand of their skulls. THIS ENDS HERE! I GAMON WILL SAVE US!

When you have defeated Nazgrim, they says:

Gamon:- You are an honorable orc Nazgrim, i regret what i must do.

Nazgrim:- *cough* *cough* I die, with honor, lok'thar ogar! *cough* Gamon! You have finally learned, i am proud to have died at your hand. For the horde.....

Gamon:- You fought with honor, Gamon will ensure that your legacy lives on! For the horde my friend!

This will truly be an epic fight! And i can't wait for it to come out!

Gamon Rerolled Warrior

....someone make that guild. Please.

Comment by piraka810

Everyone, I bring bad news, in the 5.4 PTR, Gamon is facing a firing squad.If he wants to whoop some Kor'Kon ass, he'd better hurry up.Edit: And whoop ass he does! It appears he fights alongside you for at least one fight in Seige of Orgrimaar!

Comment by 95RageSpear

good old times when gamon was only lvl 20 :D

Comment by gormarrow

One, Two Gamon's gonna get you. Three, Four, Lock dem Doors, Five, Six Gamon shall kick some of those kor'kron pricks, Seven, Eight. Gamon is great, Nine, Ten run as fast as you can!

Comment by Future6602

I get the feeling this guy will be the next Warchief of the Horde. After we kick Garrosh's butt out of Orgrimmar.

Comment by devilofanger

Well if Gamon becomes the Warchief we'll need someone to replace him (wouldn't Garrosh be well suited for this if he lives?) because alliance got Crithto now.

Comment by henslock8

After many years of being a punching bag in Orgrimmar, you have finally become our hero.

Let us bow down to the almighty Gamon, as he assisted us with the liberation of Orgrimmar.You shall no longer be a corpse that lies in an inn, or steak for the blood elves twice a week.You have gone far from being that young level 15 tauren.

Bow down to the mightiest of warriors, Gamon.

2004 ~ 2014 : And many years more to come.

Comment by Tyrantor

A peaceful day in the beautiful city of Orgrimmar. *The inn collapses into slivers.* 'WTF?' yells Innkeeper Gryshka, before getting executed by what she thought looked like a giant beef roast but wasn't clear if it was or not. The auction house then collapsed into a pile of matchsticks, and this time it was clear who did it. A giant tauren figure burst through what remained of the doorway and executed the Auctioneers. It was Gamon! 'Me smash,' says Gamon as he charges around the Valley of Strength, chopping up orcs, trolls, undead, pandaren, blood elfs and goblins. Then Garrosh said 'Ouch,' as Gamon Charged him and beheaded him. 'OMG-WTFISGOINGON,' yelled a Grunt as the entire front wall of Orgrimmar collapsed, and Gamon killed everyone and everything in The Valleys of Spirits, Strength and Wisdom except tauren, who helped him. Gamon and Co. then charged into the Drag and down near Ragefire and killed lots of orcs and other things. Now Gamon and his tauren finished off everyone in the Valley of Honor and hijacked a zeppelin to go invade Sen'jin Village, Undercity and Silvermoon. First they went to Sen'jin Village and decorated the houses with troll heads, and Vol'jin's head was on top of his very own house. Gamon's company made a Troll Stew out of the guards to celebrate victory before they flew off to Silvermoon City. Gamon had to abandon the Zeppelin off the coast of Eversong because not even the mighty powerful killing machine Gamon is exempt from Eversong, Silvermoon and Ghostlands flying regulations. Gamon went into Silvermoon and after he killed all the guards, politely asked Mister Theron if he could use his Orb to get to Undercity quickly. 'No,' said Lor'themar politely but firmly. 'OMGWTF,' screamed Gamon in a rage before biting Lor'themar's head off and chewing it up vigorously. Gamon and his team rushed through the Orb and rushed into the Undercity. Gamon and his crew killed everyone in the main district before rushing through the corridors, killing everything in sight until he came to Sylvanas. 'Grrrr,' said Gamon. Sylvanas laughed and casually shot one of Gamon's tauren. She then used her Dead-Raising abilities to raise the tauren from the dead. 'GGGGGGRRRRRRRWWWWWWRRRRRRAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGRRRRRRGH,' screamed Gamon and in a blind rage, sliced Sylvanas into tiny bits until she no longer took a solid form. Gamon's fellows were forced to kill the undead tauren. Gamon made extremely sure there was nothing left of the Undercity for those horrible, horrible undead to salvage. Having completed his quest for vengeance, Gamon named himself the new Warchief of the Horde, the True Horde (in his opinion... I mean we all know about Rend and Garrosh and all that...) And Gamon ruled the tauren with an iron fist. The End.

Comment by Combine456

Btw is wowhead wrong or he truly has unsquished hp? 40 mln hp is ALOT.

EDIT It was fixed unfortunetly. The vision of Gamon being as powerful as mythic Garrosh was too beautiful.

Comment by vindurza

it seems as of the latest patch our dark knight/horde punching bag has finally gotten his eternal rest since he no longer seems to spawn and is nowhere in orgrimmar scratch the above statement thanks to the reply below and my own investigation it seems he has finally earned his break and earned himself a title and is it just me or dose he seem to be getting his mojo on with a female orc?

Comment by Hugulin

As of 6.0.2 Gamon is back at the inn Valley of strength. And have Tile <Hero of Orgrimmar >

Comment by greytree

In patch 6.0.2, Gamon has returned triumphant to the inn in the Valley of Strength. He can be found on the second level, sitting at a table with Grunt Meena and bearing the title <Hero of Orgrimmar>.

Comment by SurvivalHunter

He is now Gamon <Hero of Orgrimmar>. As he should be.

Comment by BFGfreak

In AU Azeroth, It was Gamon that traveled back in time to save the day in the War of the Ancients. The only difference was that Gamon returned from the portal as it blew up.

Comment by ragstal

i feel sorry for the guy, the last few 10 years the game exists he always get beaten for no actual reason and in fact i beat him one time myself and felt bad about but i wanted the drops even tho he didnt drop anything, at first when i saw him i found creepy the fact he was sitting like a child in the corner of the inn...
